My Father: Harrison! Harrison, come in here. I’ve gathered some reading material for you. Get your parents in here, too, they should also be prepared for what you may come into contact with now that you’ve started Kindergarten…

After deciding that he wanted to make his father custom mini-figures for his birthday present, 5 year old Harrison put together somewhat normal looking figures…with intense back stories…

Me: So…what’s this guy’s story?

Harrison: He’s a warrior…and he uses a bow and arrow that was his brother’s because his brother got kidnapped. He wears his hair like his kidnapped brother now because he misses him and has been searching for him for YEARS but the bad guys have him hidden. So his name is, “Warrior Guy Who Got His Brother Stolen And Now He’s Looking For Him And He Uses His Bow”.

Me: Nice.

Me: Why doesn’t this guy have arms?

Harrison: He isn’t a guy, he’s Slimer from the Ghostbusters movie. He has the cat because he eats cats because he hates them. Only he doesn’t eat the cat like WE would eat the cat (side note: we don’t eat cats in this family) he just kind of gobbles him up in all the slime. So his name is, “Slimer From The Ghostbusters Movie Who Eats Cats Because He Hates Them”.

Me: (a little creeped out by the cat bit)…okay…I guess I can see that…

Me: This guy?

Harrison: MOM! He’s a scientist…and when he isn’t doing experiments he dresses up like Darth Vader.

Harrison:(annoyed) Well…yeah, I mean, I AM but I still want to be one when I get older. I don’t want to be a pirate or like…(cue about 10 solid seconds of him trying to remember who he doesn’t want to be like)…that guy, you know, THAT guy. You know. You KNOW. That guy.
